Hi Gary,
Just a quick FYI. We don't allow direct presentation of copyrighted material on this site. I've edited your post so that the links remain to your images. If you want to present specific information directly on the site, such as highlighting some of the differences that you've mentioned, it is permissible to type those specs directly in the post (unlike presenting the images themselves directly in the post).
Thanks,
Guth

Ah my bad. I didn't even think about that liability. Thanks for taking the time to edit the links.
For those that are curious, the information I found interesting.
Rear axle travel
'13 - 114mm
'14 - 113mm
Engine Dry Weight
'13 - 191.6 lbs
'14 - 192.9 lbs
Fuel pump flow at 12v
'13 - 9.8 oz/sec
'14 - 13.3 oz/sec
Fork Fluid Level
Both forks on the standard '13 and '14 - 4.6"
Right fork on the dlx - 4.4"
Left fork on the dlx - 7.3"
Fork oil capacity
Standard both years - 16.7 oz both forks
Right fork on dlx - 17.1 oz
Left fork on dlx - 14.7 oz

Also it looks like just about every gear in the gearbox is different.

Thanks, Gary. Here's the picture in a larger format. It's a lovely looking thing. Is that an unsold '13 model in the background?

That is a lot of black! A Batman suit would be a good fit.

That is interesting info Gary. Looking at the pages I caught everything but the fork fluid difference which by itself is interesting, but also the fuel pump rate and the timing difference are interesting. One thing you missed was the ground clearance..5.3 vs 4.9 inches ...substantially different yet seat height is reportedly the same. Crazy. Why so many changes?
Oh and the 13 standard gained 5 pounds on the 13. Due to 6 th gear and instrumentation differences?
Another thing that caught my eye was amount of oil after teardown...1.1 quarts more than when changing the oil and filter. There must be a lot of dirty oil left in the crankcase somewhere after you drain the oil and remove the filter. Wow.

From that pic, ( hard to tell with the abundance of black) it also looks like the side cover is a different shape than the DLX...it doesn't look like it covers the frame in front. Can anyone corroborate that?

Part of the reason I bought a 2013 only Honda Manual, to keep me from upgrading to a 2014 and to have specific info for "my" CB and not have to share with the 2014.

Same side panel shape as the 2013 and the grab rail looks like the 2013.
Honda engineers must have a love affair with the CB1100. All the little changes show lots of tweaking and tinkering. They can't keep their hands offa it.
It's going to make things interesting for the aftermarket manufacturers and those of us wanting to mix and match parts. Case in point, the new aluminum sprocket covers.
